Don't know what your problem is but:

function date_compare($d1, $d2)
{
    $d1 = explode('_', $d1);
    $d2 = explode('_', $d2);
    
    $d1 = array_reverse($d1);
    $d2 = array_reverse($d2);
    
    if (strtotime(implode('-', $d1)) > strtotime(implode('-', $d2)))
    {
        return $d2;
    }
    else
    {
        return $d1;
    }
}
